6. Craft
In the end, women rule the world.
Seven times in proportion to the Pyeonghwa Party, it was a word that Seonggi-nam murmured to himself from time to time.
In the era of gender equality, if you say such things openly, you might be criticized. But honestly, isn’t that the reality? Big figures in politics and the legal world, the heads of conglomerates and emerging IT conglomerates were all women.
Men were not to be found except in exceptional cases.
So, from the time she was young, she did her best to win the favor of the woman who led the group she belonged to.
I did it instinctively, not for any purpose. It was because I wanted to stand next to a popular female.
At one time, I suffered a lot because of this habit.
When I was a freshman in college, I was excited about the interest of my senior, who openly felt like an alpha female, so I gave up everything and was abandoned. Right after I joined a law firm after becoming a lawyer in my first year of law school, I was seduced by a female senior and got caught up in company politics. Etc.
But she never really reflected. He didn’t care even if he was criticized for being arrogant. After all, thanks to that habit, he became a member of the National Assembly.
Park Ha-sun, representative of the Peace Party.
A 5-term member of the National Assembly, a powerful member of the Peace Party, and the representative who led the party to victory despite not doing anything clearly.
She had been the object of Seonggi-nam’s loyalty for several years. She has been doing her best to earn her trust after becoming close to her by chance.
I chased after her drinking party, took care of her, took care of her personal affairs for free, and even carried her bag.
Fortunately, it was rewarding. In exchange for her allegiance, she was given a proportional representation number, and that was enough.
‘Finally on the right line.’
Of course, there were aftereffects. Perhaps because she pursued Park too hard, she had to be ridiculed for being a concubine and an attendant.
Fortunately, she wasn’t intolerable. Rather, it was his determination to follow Park more diligently and become her right-hand man.
But recently, that sky-like being had a mysterious case.
“Lee Soo-ho, right? Proportional number 19. There is a saying that that friend is having a hard time because of coin investment. Of course, since there is a government policy, I can’t openly recommend investing, but I can’t force them to sell. What if I harbor a grudge?”
A strange order to appease Lee Soo-ho so that he does not obey the party’s policy.
The real purpose didn’t seem to be just to appease.
Rather, it was like an instruction to prevent him from robbing his hands neatly. More precisely, it seemed that the purpose was to induce Park to sell at the time he wanted.
I don’t know what the purpose of this order was, but Seong-Gi-Nam carried it out straight away.
“I told you to understand, so I don’t think they sold it.”
While checking the market price of mana in real time, Seonggi-man muttered to himself.
The market price of mana is still on the rise after the great news.
Now the surge has stopped, but the trend has been good. The proof was that the total amount of her transactions recorded by Mana for 24 hours was a whopping 3 trillion won. Even in Korea this much. It was a fever that was possible only in the days when cryptocurrency was in full swing.
‘It won’t be easy to shake off a category that continues to rise. I’ve even eased the political burden, so there’s no need to be courted by that.’
Even if you think about it with common sense, it’s clear that it hasn’t been sold yet. Lee Soo-ho was still young, and he didn’t have much wealth. It’s not easy for a friend like that to be bold in front of money.
But I wasn’t sure.
I wanted to ask directly, but it was right to be careful because if I did, I might notice something suspicious.
So I decided to cross a bridge and approach it.
It was to collect information through Lee Soo-ho’s aide. To be precise, an aide-nominee.
“There must be a lot of things to be concerned about to be an assistant to a young master like Congressman Lee Su-ho, right?”
“That… yes. Of course it is.”
“I think we need to lead in a good direction.”
Originally, it was customary for the party to recommend a veteran aide when a young member of the National Assembly in his twenties entered as a proportional representative.
The superficial justification was to help inexperienced resources in the legislative activities, and in reality, the intention was to have some degree of control. After all, it is not easy for a young member of the National Assembly to overcome an aide.
However, it was never an honorable thing to openly ask someone to try it out.
“Me, but Seong Ki-nam, President-elect.”
“It must be a member of the council.”
“It’s still before the start of my term, no, I understand anyway. However, Congressman Lee Soo-ho is not a complete newbie and has experience working as a secretary for 4 years. I’m a bit reluctant because it seems like I’m being watched.”
It’s about taking care of everything.”
“No, even if it is.”
Even the person receiving the order notices something absurd.
No wonder. Interfering in the disposal of coins by a member of the National Assembly is too much of an overkill. If the amount is around 5 to 6 billion, the news will be covered immediately after the sale, so of course you should get involved, but it’s not like that.
‘Yes, it is natural to be puzzled. Neither do I.’
However, Seong Ki-nam could not disobey CEO Park’s instructions. Even if it feels a little forced, I have no choice but to push.
“Whew. Think about it. Lee Suho, that friend was an athlete, right? There is a high possibility that the water will be dark.”
“I know it has been almost 10 years since I quit.”
“… I know, I know! Let’s just assume that it’s a short-term care at the beginning of the term. When the National Assembly opens, this will not happen.”
Only then did he accept and withdraw.
But it didn’t seem like he was willing to support it.
I don’t think it would be nice to receive an order to monitor the person I’m supposed to serve as my boss from now on. I don’t even know why he gave these orders. Seong Ki-nam also did not know the details of the story, so there was no way to explain it.
‘You have to do as you are told. What can I do?’

Unfortunately, with a profit of 850 million, it seemed that there was no time to enjoy abundance.
It was a thought that came to my mind naturally while listening to the chatter of the 4th grade aide (Jin), who was recommended to be appointed as the chief aide by the Peace Party.
“I, Lee Soo-ho, President-elect. You have to be honest with me so I can assist you effectively.”
It looked like he was trying to figure out whether I had sold mana or still held it while keeping an eye on him.
‘It’s not something you want to do. Willingly or not, I’ll have to cut it later.’
The candidate for the aide recommended to me by the party was not particularly lacking in content. He was a veteran employee who had served in two offices, and an ordinary employee with a good personality and a moderate reputation. Capable of taking care of the housekeeping of one member’s office.
But now, I was curious about coins. Maybe someone made it It was so shabby that it felt a little pitiful.
I had no intention of telling you honestly that I had already disposed of it.
“Aide Shim. Where is the aide who is involved in property reporting? If you are a lawmaker with more than tens of billions of won, you don’t even know.”
“Of course it is, but the effect of virtual currency on public sentiment is different.”
“I don’t know when it’s in full swing, but how many people are crazy about virtual currency these days. And if I didn’t cheat with the preemption, there wouldn’t be any reason to come to cuba. May I ask why you are concerned?”
“That’s because it’s opening soon and I’m feeling old.”
“It just means advice. All right. You don’t have to worry, I’ll take care of myself so I don’t get caught by others.”
“… ….”
Assistant Shim couldn’t back down even though I flatly refused. You probably want to ask, “Is that why you sold it or not?” After all, that’s what the person who gave him the order wants.
Looking at that figure, I could roughly guess why the higher ups were interfering with my investment.
What if the person who issued the mana was a fraudster and wanted to prevent me from getting involved? It was enough to just tell me openly.
Knowing that it’s a scam is itself a problem, but it’s understandable anyway.
However, the current meddling has gone too far.
‘There’s no need to do this just to avoid controversy.’
Perhaps he was trying to trick me into a trap and make me a scapegoat to overwrite their mistakes. It’s an extreme assumption, but we had to prepare in advance. That’s why I didn’t tell the party’s aide candidate whether or not to dispose of the coin.
‘Whew. Now is not the time to be bound by mana.’
I had to enter the National Assembly soon.
Member of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. It was by no means an easy task.
Compared to the population, the number of members of the National Assembly is small, but thanks to this, the treatment each person receives is superior to that of most major European countries. I was attracted to that unconventional treatment and challenged myself to run for proportional representative.
However, I had no intention of not working and just taking care of my salary.
I don’t have the desire to achieve great achievements, but I was prepared to work hard to become a member of the National Assembly that serves more than one person. If you sit in a position where you receive over 150 million in taxes every year, you have to do the minimum.
Unfortunately, however, the circumstances surrounding me did not allow me to make that effort.
Mana that smells like Sacha.
Persons in political relations whose exact number is difficult to count, presumed to have been captured by the man who issued the mana.
…And I made a decent profit with mana.
There was even a point of contact (a situation that looked like) golf between the manager of Mana Coin and me. In reality, I have never been involved in the slightest, but if I wrap it well, I’ll come out with a picture that won’t be awkward even if I’m in one.
Now was not the time to take up the duties of an elected official.
The fortunate thing is that I have already finished planning how to get out.
Since this happened, I decided to take action right away without hesitation. It was because I didn’t want to get involved in any accident later and get hurt.
